» The Organization
The Organization in Chain of Memories is a group of six mysterious members whose intentions are unknown at the beginning of the game. But, later on, we learn that two of the members, Marluxia and Larxene, want to use Sora to overthrow the Organization and lead it. Other members want to use Riku to stop Marluxia and Larxene from doing this.
Marluxia: The lord of Castle Oblivion. and Sora's main antagonist in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. He uses a scythe and his control over flowers to attack. In Chain of Memories, Marluxia and Larxene conspire to overthrow the Organization by using Namin� to manipulate Sora's memories. But, his plan failed and he was eliminated by Sora.
Larxene: Another member of the Organization who helped Marluxia conspire against the Organization. Larxene wields knives and the power of thunder to fight. She is later killed by Sora, Donald, and Goofy.
Axel: Despite him being part of Marluxia's conspiracy against the Organization, Axel's true intentions are clearly unknown. Axel utilizes a pair of chakram, as well as fire. After Sora defeated him twice, Axel enlists the aid of the Riku Replica to get rid of Zexion in Castle Oblivion's basement levels.
Vexen: A scientist who can control ice and carries a large shield in battle that blocks any frontal attacks made against him. Vexen sides with Zexion and Lexaeus, other members occupying the castle's basements, to prevent Marluxia's plan to overthrow the Organization. He first battles Riku in order to gather data to create a replica of him. However, when the Replica Riku failed to defeat Sora, Vexen faced Sora himself and was was defeated. After their battle, Vexen gives Sora the card to Twilight Town with the intention of revealing Roxas's existence. Marluxia considers him a traitor as a result and sends Axel to kill him. As Vexen is about to reveal Marluxia's plot, he is killed by Axel.
Lexaeus: A well-built fighter in Organization's ranks, one of the two members of the Organization that only appear in Riku's story. He combines earth magic with his giant tomahawk when fought. Lexaeus, along with Vexen and Zexion, are older members of the Organization who occupy the basement levels of Castle Oblivion in the second game. When they find Marluxia plans to overthrow the Organization by capturing and manipulating Sora, Lexaeus and Zexion decide to capture Riku and use him in the same fashion to counter Marluxia. When it becomes dangerously apparent that Sora might fall into Marluxia's grasp, Lexaeus confronts Riku directly, trying to convince him to open himself up to the power of the darkness in his heart. Riku manages to defeat the warrior, but with his last bits of strength, Lexaeus releases all of the darkness within him in hopes of overwhelming and consuming Riku. However, King Mickey protects Riku from the part of Xehanort's Heartless in his heart.
Zexion: A manipulator. Zexion uses his power of illusion, used to mimic others' weapons, disguise himself as others, and create duplicates of himself. Zexion is one of two Organization members who appear only in Riku's story. Zexion tracks Riku's actions until Vexen's death; Zexion and Lexaeus then decide to use Riku to counter Marluxia's plan to use Sora. After Marluxia is killed, Zexion sees Riku as unnecessary and attempts to destroy Riku himself. He leads Riku into a manifestation of Destiny Islands, Riku's home. There, Zexion tells Riku about how he threw away his friends and his home and opened the door to darkness, thus destroying the islands. Following Riku's battle with a large Heartless, Zexion disguises himself as Sora and attacks Riku, telling him that he's become a pawn of the darkness. He engulfs Riku in light, but a vision of Kairi convinces Riku to accept darkness and light. With newfound confidence, Riku follows Zexion's scent through the light and causes Zexion to flee. Afterwards, Axel brings the Riku Replica to Zexion and convinces the replica that he can become "real" by gaining power that the real Riku does not have. The replica agrees, and as per Axel's suggestion, kills Zexion.
